Katrina Doctor cleared

I was just heart sick when I heard that Dr. Anna Pou had been charged with manslaughter.  This woman went above and beyond to keep her patients safe and to continue to care for them as did every single employee at the hospital.  They had to work under horrendous conditions and did what they could and had to do for these poor patients only to be accused of terrible wrong doing.

So where is the blame for the government officials that allowed these patients to remain in the hospital in the first place.  Our government mishandled most everything with Katrina.  Yet we are ready, willing, and able to send help to other countries that suffer from terrible tragedies similar to that of Katrina?  What is wrong with this picture?  We are still too busy trying to take care of the world at our own peoples expense.

Strange ‘Mother’

I have been trying to avoid voicing my opinion on this so called ‘Man’ that gave birth.  This is not a man, this is a very confused individual.  Imagine how this poor little girl that ‘he’ gave birth to is going to react when she finds out her ‘Daddy’ gave birth to her.  Imagine her on the play ground and the other children learning who she is and who her ‘Mother/Father’ is.  This is a recipe for disaster if you ask me but no one really did.  Well no one other than every single person that steps foot into my establishment.  I just thing if this person wanted to be a man so bad, then SHE would have done away with everything that made her a woman but HE didn’t do that.  It needs to be on Dr. Phil because he’ll straighten it all out.

Costumes

Costumes are not just for Halloween here in New Orleans.  They are for any and most every celebration.  There are several wonderful places here to buy costumes, masks and most anything you need for your party or celebration.  I have found some wonderful costumes online too.  Costumes can be expensive but are considered a necessity here so we look to find the best prices.  You should check out some of what they offer online and save some money too.

Puppy mills

When I was in college, my mother and I had a kennel and raised puppies.  We had about 75 breeder dogs.  It used to anger me quite a bit for people to refer to us as part of the puppy mills that you would see in the news.  I personally have been to a puppy mill and couldn’t stand what I saw.  There are reputable breeders out there and we were one of them.  The adult dogs and the puppies were cared for as you would your family pets by us.  So if you are looking for a puppy, buy one from a breeder that will let you see the parents and not keep you from seeing the conditions the breeders are living in.  In fact, before long I am going to be looking for a puppy myself and trust me, I will check out the kennel before I purchase my puppy.

Old Cell Phones & 911

Did you know that if you have a cell phone that is no longer on a contract with your cell company that it can still be used to dial 911?  It’s true.  Too many people simply throw away their old cell phones when they get a new one.  Some will recycle it as a child’s toy but I prefer to recycle it into something that will help others.  Women’s shelters give used cell phones to women in their shelter to have as extra protection so keep that in mind when you buy a new cell phone.  Donate your old cell phone to help someone helpless without it.

Respect

Our government may not be perfect and I am not going to try and say it is but I love this country.  I love our people and especially our soldiers.  These young men are fighting for us, to keep us safe, to give us freedom from fear and deserve nothing but our utmost respect and gratitude.  Everyone has a right to their opinions, but when your opinion hurts innocent people like our soldiers families, you might want to think twice before opening your mouth.  War is ugly and I can’t say it is right or wrong.  All I can say is I will not voice any opinion against our soldiers.

Water everywhere

The water damage was horrific here.  Deadly mold overtook most everything.  It was not something that could be easily fixed by just ordinary people.  I had to hire professionals to clean up the water damage and restore my building so we could return to a safe place.  This took a long time but was worth every dime.  I must make sure everyone is taken care of properly.

New Orleans is known for its Mardi Gras.  It’s the party capital of the world.  Everyone is welcome, young, old, and any thing else that makes an individual unique.  We pass no judgment and celebrate life as it should be.  If you ever get the chance to come to Mardi Gras, please do and I promise you will have the time of your life or at least the biggest celebration of life you can imagine.

Taking care of my people

My establishment is a quality establishment.  Not some fly by night type of place but a good, clean atmosphere for all.  As the owner of my own business, there are many things to consider, one of which is health insurance for all my employees among others.  Again the internet provides many options in this area to choose from.  I make sure everyone that works for me and is illegible has health insurance.  It’s a shame more establishments don’t feel the same way because if you take care of your employees, they will also take care of you.

Katrina

When Katrina came, life in New Orleans changed forever.  I was not like a lot of people who chose to stay.  I know better than to face down an angry woman;) and chose to head for much safer ground, so I took all of my employees that wanted to go with me to Las Vegas.  I knew they could find jobs there until we could return home.  The computer is a great tool to keep you in touch with necessary people and goings on so you know when things are better.  Not the same, just getting better.  Then we returned.
